Governor's Ladies

For many years, Thomas Gage believed he did not have the time or the inclination for romance, but everything changed when he fell in love with the vivacious Margaret Kemble. But in 1775 the ever-building tensions in the troubled state suddenly erupt into violence. Having risen through the army ranks before meeting Margaret, Thomas has known many battles in his time. But this one - the War of Independence - is different; there are personal passions and beliefs involved. Thomas seeks solace through teaching his pretty black slave, Sara, the simple pleasures of reading and writing. But with conflict, heartbreak and death close at hand, can true love and happiness ever prevail for the Governor and his lady?Lake, Deryn is the author of 'Governor's Ladies', published 2007 under ISBN 9780753177822 and ISBN 075317782X.
